'Synthesis' is the study of a dialogue between two contrasting materials - resin and tar - and their negotiation for space and identity when forced to become a single unified entity.

Synthesis 1,2 & 3 were created for the exhibition, ‘Presence and Absence: New Works by Tom Price’ currently on show at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City (until 4 January 2015). Each of the works in the exhibition responds in different ways to the notion of presence and absence, exploring materials as diverse as resin, bronze, aluminium, coal and tar.

Tom continues to stretch the boundaries between art and design. See more of Tom's work here.
